Ant shouted: “How many different t-shirts are they going to wear this series? They’ve got the ones with the phone numbers on, they’ve got the one with Iain and Kez’s face son, now they’ve got the yellow and blue ones. I mean who’s paying for all this?

Then came Dec’s reply: “You - has nobody told you? You’re giving up your fee for the next series of Saturday Night Takeaway.”

Ant, who has returned to the ITV screen following a stint in rehab, replied: “So I’m doing the whole of the next series of Saturday Night Takeaway for free?”

“No don’t be daft,” said Dec. “You’re getting one of these t-shirts with Kez’s face on.”

Dec then made further jokes about where Ant’s Britain’s Got Talent money is going, after Ant asked where the cash was coming from to pay for a space rocket used in an I’m a Celeb task.

Dec jibed: “Has anyone told you you’ve given up your fee for the next series of Britain’s Got Talent?”
